Ficool

Chapter 4 - The first mission (1)

Time: 2049.12 – Original Timeline

Location: Paris, Prime Earth

Status: Active Anomaly

Night had fallen over the 13th arrondissement of Paris when I got the call.

A man had disappeared inside an abandoned building, a sector that had been showing strange anomalies for days. What should have been a routine investigation was already anything but ordinary.

I arrived on site, my Fracture Weapon ready to shift into whatever form was needed. In an instant, the drone transformed into a scout, silently flying over the dark ruins, detecting the faintest traces of energy.

The area was charged with an unnatural atmosphere, as if time itself was wavering. Fragments of reality seemed to intertwine, snippets of past or future events flickering in and out of my sight.

Suddenly, a figure materialized: the body of a man, half-fainted, as if frozen between two worlds. But when I tried to approach, he vanished in a flash.

That was the fracture.

I realized this body did not fully belong to this timeline. My job was to stabilize the anomaly.

Using the Fracture Weapon, I linked my abilities to the drone's to create a stabilization field. Slowly, the silhouette became tangible again. The man opened his eyes, disoriented, but alive.

"Who are you?" I asked.

He didn't answer; his eyes reflected the fear and confusion of a man lost between realities.

My mission was clear: extract him from this fracture, escort him out of the unstable zone, and understand how he had been torn between two times.

Because I knew this wasn't the end of the story.

This fracture was only the first of many.

And if I didn't act, reality itself might unravel.
